    Stay safe and warm all! All we got this far south is rain and a palm full of snow/ice mix.

    I was hoping to have a blizzard party up here in NH. Fire-pit, axe-throwing, steak tips on the bbq, beer....

    I LOVE snow, but we didn't get hit. Bummer.

    I lost electric for about 7 hours. Tank popped right back when electric came back on. However, one of my larger pigeons isn't looking good. Not sure if the temp drop got him or lack of oxygen. All other inhabitants are great. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Did not have to put the generator on but had it ready. Got a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow around 3 to 4. Virginia up got hammered. Good luck to all.

    We are doing a lot of no heat or no hot water calls today for the poster who asked. My business services boilers burners hot water heaters etc. we don't close and always have men on the road. It is a delicate balance during this as we are getting slammed with snow. The drifts are unreal....

    It's very inconvenient for those that lose power, heat, water etc during these situations, but we tend to take for granted the folks that are out travelling IN the mess to come and help us. ... keep safe.

    I got lucky on this one & did not lose power, which we usually do when a blizzard lasts this long. I have over 900 gals of water so I have a 8,000 watt gen. if needed. Harry

    Len - You are so right! People just expect you to be there, and yes, while that is our job, some people have zero patience and no respect for what we do... It can be difficult at times...

    Harry - So glad to hear that you are not without power!

    I agree, I got over 2 feet, but thankfully kept power the whole time
